The
National Blood Drive encourages Medical Societies to compete to secure the
greatest number of donations, with the winner being awarded the prestigious
Vampire Cup. Donating blood is one of the few ways that you can save lives as a
medical student, so get amongst it and donate. For more information, click here.

AMSA has created it’s
very own Movember network, which means that you can pit your hirsuite
(h)abilities against one another, to dermine once and for all which MedSoc has
the hottest handlebars. But don’t let all this Type-A personality
competitiveness blind you from the cause behind Movember – raising money for
Men’s Health. Even if you’re more Justin Beiber than Merv Hughes, you can still
get behind this great cause! Check it out here.

The National Charity
Drive (NCD) is an initiative that started in 2007, and encourages medical
students to be involved in community based activities across Australia. The AMSA Community
Cup will be awarded to the medical society deemed by AMSA Council to have
conducted the most innovative and successful charity event in the previous 12
months. This is voted upon at Second Council.
